Stargirl gave me a lot of hope for the future of female superheroes. The show was popular right out of the gate and seemed to hold their audiance going into season 2.
But viewership dropped sharply this year and couple that with the CW being sold to Nextstar and the show seemed doomed.
CW has dramatically reduced its volume of U.S. scripted originals.
“Stargirl has always held a special place in my heart for many reasons,” Explained show created Geoff Johns in a statement Monday. “With all the brewing changes at the network, we were aware this was possibly the last season, so we wrote with that in mind and have delivered what I believe to be the best season of Stargirl yet, with complete creative closure. The cast and crew are extraordinary, and I’d like to thank them for helping me bring this series to life. Brec embodied Courtney in every way possible — with grace, strength and humor — exceeding my wildest expectations. I am grateful to WBTV and The CW for giving us a home to tell this story and to honor my beloved late sister, and I’m beyond thankful to the press and fans who have always championed us for three amazing seasons. Most series never get this far. We couldn’t be more proud of our show and the fan community it’s built!”
